A Wrinkle in Time

A Brief Summary
|
|
This book is unique in that the material is not average for any child. In fact it is quite advanced, and I must congratulate Madeline L'Engle for her high expectations of children. Anyway, this book is the story of a sixth-grade girl, Meg, her "slow" learning brother, Charles Wallace, and a seventh-grade boy. They go in search of Meg's and Charles' father who has been missing for quite some time and no one knows where to find him. They are helped by three witches: Mrs. Who, Mrs. What, and Mrs. Which. Their father is not in our world, in fact he is in another dimension, the fifth dimension. The only way to get there is to "wrinkle" through time. They experience things I have never before thought of and visit places that I could only dream of and meet people who develop in the deepest parts of our minds. It is a beautiful book which opens up many doors to the imagination.

Theories of Time Travel
|
|
|
There are many theories, but the one that is just about proved is Einstein?s theory that the faster you go, the slower time goes, and when you reach the speed of light, time stops. Any faster then the speed of light, and time starts going backwards. For more information, go to Time Travel (in links section)
